To:             	goldfndr@eskimo.com

this is a drop file format that is supported by a kind of new (about a year
old) really popular door kit (xdoor)... the author included this dropfile in
it because he is/was also doing his own bbs software, vivid... which
will/would have support/supported this, there for the door kit would have
been more specific for it... anyways, a lot of people use the door kit, and
i know some bbs authors try to include every dropfile possible... i doubt
anyone would NEED this, but incase they want it, here it is direct from the
xdoor docs.

   VIVID#.SYS Drop File - What is it?


   The XTreme DoorKit supports a new innovative door dropfile.  It
   currently is not used by ANY other doorkit.  VIVID#.SYS is used
   for the Vivid Bulletin Board System.  Vivid is  currently still
   in development, and is also written by me (natedogg).

   Here are the specs for the VIVID#.SYS drop file (# = node number)
